Product Description: A must for every home chef, MASTERING KNIFE SKILLS demystifies the arcane art of using a knife, based on a system so simple that it can be applied to literally anything edible on the planet. Filmed at the acclaimed KITCHEN ON FIRE cooking school in Berkeley, MASTERING KNIFE SKILLS features Chef MikeC., one of the Bay Area s most popular instructors, with appearances by award-winning cookbook author Chef Olivier Said. An action-packed 45 minutes, divided into bite-size chapters for easy navigation, each step has been vented through hundreds of knife skills classes taught by MikeC. since 2002. A sell-out wherever the class has been presented, it was recently named by SAN FRANCISCO Magazine as one of the best-ever for honing your inner chef.
Thoroughly, enjoyable and informative I really wanted to give 5-stars to this wonderful DVD on Mastering Knife Skills by Chef Mike C. & Chef Olivier Said, except for one aspect that was disappointing for a kitchen amateur, like myself. After making only one passing reference to the traditional French Chef Knife, the remainder of the DVD focused on using the shorter, flat, Asian style, Chef Knife. I can understand this is because it's Mike C's preface, but for more complete instruction, I really wish there could have been equal time for the use of the French Chef Knife. Nevertheless, the excellent information in this DVD is delivered in a very entertaining manner by two very funny characters. I would definitely purchase any future presentations they produce.

Awesome DVD and I still have 10 fingers! This was a complete guide to using knives in the kitchen, which may sound dry, but was funny and entertaining. It is a great price and great value for anyone looking to sharpen their own cooking skills.
Plus these guys teach cooking classes in Berkeley at Kitchen on Fire, so I can check them out in person!
